Prayer times in Kandahār — common questions
What time is Fajr in Kandahār today?
Fajr in Kandahār begins at 04:41 AM today. Fajr starts at true dawn, when the sun reaches a set angle below the horizon, and ends at sunrise — so this time shifts by a minute or two each day as the season changes.
Which direction is the Qibla from Kandahār?
From Kandahār, the Qibla is 280.7° from true north — roughly W. Remember that a phone compass points to magnetic north, so you may need to correct for local magnetic declination.
Which calculation method is used for Kandahār?
These times use the MWL convention, which is the standard recognised across India. If your mosque follows a different authority, its Fajr and Isha may differ by several minutes — the calculation is identical, only the twilight angle changes.
Are these times accurate for a place the size of Kandahār?
Yes. Prayer times are computed from Kandahār's own coordinates, not borrowed from a larger neighbouring city, so the astronomy is exactly as accurate as it is for a capital. The only caveat is that we use a single reference point for the settlement.
How far is Kandahār from Makkah?
Kandahār lies approximately 3902 km from the Kaaba in Makkah, measured as a great circle across the Earth's surface. That distance is what determines the Qibla bearing shown above.
